"Equation for allyship = knowledge + empathy + action," @RachelCargle #UnpackingWhiteFeminism

[The NewsHouse Live @NewsHouseLive]

What can we do to be better? @RachelCargle says we should vote for black women and non-racist representatives, call out racism with family and friends, uplift the voice of black women, and learn the history and experiences of people of color #UnpackingWhiteFeminism

[The NewsHouse Live @NewsHouseLive]

Cargle uses the term #TonePolicing to explain what it means to be unwilling to listen to the black people speaking up for their needs because it makes you "uncomfortable." She uses #NotAgainSU as an example. #UnpackingWhiteFeminism

[The NewsHouse Live @NewsHouseLive]

Cargle uses the example of manifesting business opportunities strictly because of generational wealth, "wealth that people of color were never able to achieve because of white supremacist laws and policies present in this country," says Cargle #UnpackingWhiteFeminism

"Race plays into access and opportunity. It's not a separation of opportunity. It's a separation of access AND opportunity, and how it's all related." #UnpackingWhiteFeminism

[The NewsHouse Live @NewsHouseLive]

Cargle says this is another example of black women showing up and speaking out for their rights, but all of it ultimately being ignored #UnpackingWhiteFeminism

[The NewsHouse Live @NewsHouseLive]

Modern manifestations of white feminism: 61% of white women voted for Alabama politician Roy Moore, despite the numerous sexual misconduct allegations against him. Compared to 98% of black women who voted for his opponent, Doug Jones. #UnpackingWhiteFeminism

[The NewsHouse Live @NewsHouseLive]

Cargle asks the audience to consider what their own feminism is working towards..."If it's seeking to just be equal with white men, you are suppressing a bunch of people to get there." #UnpackingWhiteFeminism

[The NewsHouse Live @NewsHouseLive]

The second wave of feminism was centered around women wanting to leave the house and go to work, "so they brought in women of color to do the work they didn't want to do anymore," says @RachelCargle #UnpackingWhiteFeminism

[The NewsHouse Live @NewsHouseLive]

Cargle says we have learned the "history of feminism" to be spearheaded by white women like Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Women who said the needs of white women come before "other" women. #UnpackingWhiteFeminism

[The NewsHouse Live @NewsHouseLive]

What is white feminism? Cargle defines it as, "feminism that focuses on and advocates for the needs and experiences of white women..." #UnpackingWhiteFeminism

“The beyond shows itself in hush harbors and corners; erupting in alleys and at dinner tables; finding expression in streets and in jails.” powerful words from @BikoMandelaGray #AfricaInitiativeAtSU

[The NewsHouse Live @NewsHouseLive]

“When the red, white and blue come on, you’ve been called.” @BikoMandelaGray at a lecture surrounding the death of Alton Sterling

[The NewsHouse Live @NewsHouseLive]

In closing, @jelani9 says he finds comfort in the fact that “The struggles behind us are bigger than the struggles in front of us. It was really an outlandish proposition, at one point, that slavery could end. Social movements all begin with a kind of irrational optimism.”

[The NewsHouse Live @NewsHouseLive]

Award-winning journalist & staff writer at the @NewYorker, @jelani9 is here @HendricksChapel to talk about race, politics & journalism as both a leading expert on race and a historian. His talk starts now.

When the subject of Trump administration came up in conversation, Cobb said: The delicacy of democracy really can’t stand very much of the most powerful person in the world saying that the system is rigged, when, if anything, the system is rigged in his favor.”
